1.a fitness program should first of all include cardio ( both HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training for no more than 30 minutes 3-4 times a week , and LILDC - Low Intensity Long Duration Cardio for 45-60 minutes 5-6 times a week ) . examples are walking , running , cycling , spinning , sprinting etc.2.another important factor of a fitness program is strength training.so it would be nice to include 2-3 sessions of total body strength training for as long as 45 minutes per week ( never in the row though , make it one day thn off then another session thn off n so on ) .3.now comes flexibility which is very important for a fitness program.examples are yoga , pilates , tai chi etc.4.Including circuit training might as well be an effective choice for a fitness program.5.Stretching for 5-7 minutes before AND after every workout ( whether it's cardio or strength training or yoga or whatever ) .Warming up and cooling down are the main factors of a fitness program so that should never be neglected.All these things should be incorporated with healthy eating.and there you have it.A fitness program , best for all.
